School Responsibilities

I think the problem with teaching how money works and really citizenship or Civics is that all have competing ideologies that will ultimately lead to biases in how they are taught. So, unfortunately, whatever is taught will need to be something very neutral like why it's bad to take on debt, why it's good to save money, why you want to invest over the long term, etc.

Right, and maybe this should just be for smart kids, I don't know, but if the kids become too curious then you'll ultimately have to do all of that debt/savings talk while simultaneously explaining how their government, which supposedly decides upon their education, does the complete opposite of logical money management, yet thrives.
